Happy mail thank you!

A post to say thank you to the lovely people at Aurifil for sending me this very practical colour card and sample threads.

I will be using these in my classes to show the students the importance of good quality thread when doing any kind of sewing.

I have used Aurifil 50wt Mako since I first discovered it being sold at The Cotton Patch around 6 years ago.

The thread I used to begin with was cheap and nasty and I soon learnt that my machine hated that. I then moved onto a recognised brand which was great quality but expensive for spools with more yardage.

So when I came across Aurifil and read more I decided to give it a try and was converted.

I found it to be excellent value for money ( still is!).

Lasts extremely well.

My machine ( and any others I have used ) love it.

There is very little lint in my machine from it.

I have used it for hand sewing, applique work, English paper piecing and machine sewing with no problems at all.

The choice of colours is awesome.

It is a very beautiful thread to just look at!

So if you haven't tried it then please do give it a go. You will be pleasantly surprised I am sure. I certainly was 6 years ago and became a faithful customer from that point!

(p.s. This post is in no way sponsored by Aurifil or anything - these views are entirely my own honest reviews of a really great product which I wanted to share with my readers and by way of a thank you to Aurifil for the bits and bobs I received).
